RE: [DML] DMCH's performance eng vs Island bi-Turbo

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've had two DeLoreans with the twin turbo kit on
them.  Current one is an 83 manual.  I have also
driven a DeLorean with the DMCH engine, plus have
ridden and driven with a friend who has one.  Here's
my take.

If I were starting from scratch today, I'd take the
DMCH engine, even though I also think it is just a tad
loud.  Two reasons:  First, the Island kit is still
using 70's vintage turbos.  Waaay too much has changed
to be still putting them on cars.  Second, the DMCH
engine is less fussy.

Having said that, I drive my car mostly on very long
road trips.  Low end acceleration is not of great
importance to me.  Mid-range  power is.  The turbos
handle this very nicely.  If I lived in a metropolitan
area where most of the driving was stop/start/ get on
and get off the freeway, I'd prefer the DMCH engine.

Just one persons 2¢.
